Europe 2006

Photo report of this year road trip in the Baltic countries. From Faro in south Portugal to Warsaw by plane, then by rented car to Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, hydrofoil to Helsinki, back to Poland, flight to London and flight back home. My photographic interest goes mostly to architectural prespectives and simple quotidian life situations.
